Note: For automatic transmission equipped vehicles.
We choos not to install a transmission cooler within our radiator’s side tank. This maximizes the cooling
efficiency of both your engine and transmission. If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission,
you will need to install an aftermarket transmission cooler. We have developed an auxiliary direct fit
transmission cooler kit for the Jeep Cherokee XJ 1987 - 2001, part #4116XJ. Flex-a-lite makes a full
line of transmission coolers along with customized mounting options.
